I left comments at Lisa Parisi Grade 5 classroom blog, in New York. One of the students, named Gina, read the same book I did during my elementary days, Tuck Everlasting. My messages to her would basically state things like
“You are an excellent writer. Your comments on the book would make anyone want to read it. I, personally have read Tuck Everlasting a few years ago. I completely enjoyed it. What did you think about the ending?”
Unfortunately I never receive any comments back and I regret not picking a different class. Overall my experience with classroom mentorship was not as successful as I had hoped. I heard about other peoples experiences who really became connected with the students they spoke with and was disappointed it did not happen to me.
Beside my personal experience I think the idea of teachers creating classroom blogs is wonderful. I was blown away at the young age groups making these blogs. I definitely plan on creating my own classroom blog and establishing a network of other teachers with the same mindset.
